The Presidents wedding Anniversary.

SARANAC INN, N. Y, June 2.-The ami
versary of the wedding day of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland dawned beauti-
fully at Saranac Inn. At sunrise there
was not a breath of air stirring, and the
surface of the lake reflected every tree,
hill, mountain range and cloud. There
was promise of fair and very warm
day, but at nine o'clock, when the cottage
party came over to the hotel to break
fast, breeze had sprung up from the
west and the white caps were running
across the bay just off Prospect Point.
When Mrs. Cleveland sat down to break
fast she found little cluster of four
leaved clovers at her place She and the
President were heartily congratulated
upon the anniversary, and were wished
all manner of happiness and good luck.
At ten o'clock, after smearing their faces
literally with fly ointment, the President,
Mrs. Cleveland and Dave Cronk went off IN
one boat, Colonel and Mrs. Lamont and Nc
Caffrey in another, and DR.. and Mrs. Ross
man in third, to spend the day at Hollis
Pond, about three miles distant. They
took lunches, and, unless the flies and
mosquitoes prove too annoying will re-
main all day. When they return the cot

decorated in simple manner. +, recall to

that took place in the Blue rom of the
White House just a year ago.

A RIPPLE IN COURT.
Alleged Attemps to Fix Jurors in the Jak
Sharna BriharY Casa.

Sharpe bribery Case.
New York, June Sit is alleged that
attempts to Fix" the jury who are to try
Jacob Sharpe for bribery have been dis
covered. The persons engaged in the af-
fair are said to be friends of Mr.. Sharpe,
but it Is not charged that the counsel for
the defense are in any way implicated.
The sum of $25, 600 is said to have been off
fered in three cases to talesmen if they
could get on the jury, and chang it.'
itively yesterday by gentleman of
standing and responsibility. 1t was
further stated that the challenging of one
Juror yesterday by the prosecution was
due to the alleged discovery of crooked
work. The juror referred to had hitherto
been regarded as probably one of the most
impartial men in the box.
When the foregoing allegations were
reported to the counsel for Mr. Sharpe,
they unanimously denounced them as I'M
founded. Mr.. Nelson said: stAll Mr..
Sharpe asks is fair trial There is not
a man who has been accepted and allowed
seat in the jury box who has not
confessed to having prejudice
against Mr.. Sharpe. He is handicapped
from the start, but we accept the situa-
ton as it is. All we ask is fair play and
no falsehoods like those stories.
From remarks made by Judge Barrett
in refusing to excuse a juror, it is in
ferred that the trial will occupy several
weeks. One seat remained vacant when
the work OF securing jurors was sus-
pended and the court adjourned for the
day

GERMAN OFFICERS.

The Social Privileges Enjoyed by the Com
missioned Portion of the Army.
An American who has Just come back
from Germany treated several of us
the other evening to very interesting
monologue on the German army in
German society. When, late in the
sixteenth century, Europe began tt
awake from feudalism, she did so very
slowly, and almost regretfully. Some
regime remained. and remain even to
this day. They may present them
selves under a new aspect, assume a
guise less shocking to the modern eye,
but they are essentially the same as
they were four or five hundred years
ago. In Prussia the common soldier
gets for three years service his board,
which is, to express it mildly, very
plain and frugal. Besides, he gets a
remuneration of 20 pfennig-5 cents
per day. A young Lieutenant, after
graduating at five or six classic, poly
technic and military schools, is enti-
tied to salary of $50 marks, or $37,
a month. He is expected to provide
for his uniform, and. if he is cavalry
officer, for his horse and servant
He has little expense in procuring a
servant, for any common servant
thinks himself happy to get position
as an officers servant, with So or 81 a
month. A Lieutenant from about %
to % years old can not expect to be
raised to the next highest rank, which
is that of Captain, before attaining at
least his thirty-sixth year. Besides, it
is always morally certain that every
young officer has to spend four Or five
years in an out-of-the way garrison in
some provincial town. Nevertheless. it
is a fact, proved by statistics (the
favorite science of Bismarck), that the
number of young men DESTROYS to be-
come officers in the army increases
steadily year after year.
Now, how is this to be accounted
for? Only one reason can be given for
it. but that is ample. Every young
man who enters the army as candidate
for the citizenship. in so doing joins
himself to the aFistocracy of the land
His uniform opens to him the way to
the highest circles of society. At all
court circles he is introduced into the
presence of the King or Kaiser, as the
case may be. He is invited to all the
great annual banquets, for which.
however, he is obliged to pay his share.
Thus it often happens that our Lieu
tenant dimes on several courses of airy,
but very expensive dishes, and after
feasting on truffies and champag ne,
goes to cheap restaurant to quiet the
cravings of his stomach with leber-
wurss aaa saurkraut, every German

NEW Y DIRK, June 3-CoIonel Robert g..
'lngersoll, as counsel for the hotel
keepers Of New York, called upon Mayor
Hewitt yesterday in regard to the en-
forcement of the law which prevents the
supplying of liquor to hotel guests on
Sunday.
The Mayor admitted that he disagreed
with the corporation counsel as 70 the
proper construction Of the law, but as the
latter was the legal adviser OF the city.
his opinion had to be followed. The
Mayor advised the hotel-keepers to make
a test case and carry the matter into
court. This will be done, the hotel men
having agreed to furnish liquor to guests,
if desired, next Sunday.

Animal Worship in China.

At recent meeting, of the Pekin
Oriental society in London, Mr.. Owen
read paper on animal worship among
the. Chinese. He referred to the wor.
ship paid to the fox, weasel, hedgehog
and shake, to which at Tientsin is
added the rat. The first four are. called
the inmortals These deified animals
seem to usurp the entire attention Of
the people, even TO- the exclusion of the
Buddhist and Taoist gods. DR.. Edkins
quoted from the Chinese to prove that
animal worship was unknown in
ancient times, while DIR. Dudgeon
pointed out that it was q mistake to
suppose that animal worship was con-
fined to the four animals mentioned.
The horse, cow, dog, insects. dragon,
lion, etc. are worshipped. In the fifth
month the eentipede, lizard, scorpion.
frog, and snake-the five poisonous
animals, as they are called-are also
objects of worship.--M r Post.

second nature. He fiirts in the salon.
In the theater, on the promenade.
Only dueling is his greater passion.
BY the rules of the corps he is obliged
to accept any challenge coming
from person not below him
in social standing. The favorite duel
OF officers is the combat of swords, so
called after the long and broad swords
used. In this duel the fighting parties
are half naked-i. e.. the upper half of
their bodies is exposed. If an officer is
caught dueling he is arrested and
| nominally sentenced. But he never
thinks of taking this seriously. If he
refuses to accept challenge his fellow
officers compel him to leave the army,
1t is treat to watch young Lieu
tenant while he is drilling his men.
He has four or five corporals to as
sist him. His chief occupation is to
stand motionless, but in threatening
attitudes in the midst of the new
soldiers. He very seldom says any
thing-that would be directly sacrifice
ing his dignity. Whenever some I'M
lucky recruit or other tries in vain to
rouse himself to a due appreciation
of the glories of the soldiers life, and
the corporal uses liveller language
than usual, our lieutenant frowns.
1t is seldom. very seldom,
that more is needed to set all things
right in a second. But even if after
the frown the refractory soldier con-
tinues 'rhick-beaded, the Lieutenant
takes step toward him. That is
enough. Thus far no case is known
where this extreme measure of dis
cipline had not an immediate effect.
The recruits are for the most part
country people, good and honest, but
stupid. They look upon the officers as
superior being. 1t never comes to
their minds that he is made of the
same clay as they themselves. The

Draconian. The other day young,

Another Rebellion Brewing.

WINNIPEG, June 2.-Gabriel Dumont,
Rieps Lieutenant, is ON the boundary line
melting the half-breeds and Indians to
another rebellion. In al attempt to capt
ure two of Dumont's couriers Tuesday
two mounted police were killed. The
Canadian Government will probably ask
the American Government to keep Du-
mont in check.
1t is understood that the rebel chief has
promised the half breeds the assistance
of the American Gros-Ventres in contem-
plating an uprising. The half-breeds
have refused to accept grain seed from
the Canadian Government Serious
